EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

Well as its on-going countdown to EGM 200th issue.. I think.. they have been doing top 10s every month for a while. This month its game characters...

I take issue with some of these choices but eh.

(- . -) Kirby is sad.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

So this is basically the Gamefaqs character battle results without the battle and, instead, people's biases showing like crazy.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

I would have to agree, PacMan should be before Samus.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

Yeah Samus was actually one of the choices I had issues with and Pac-Man should of been much higher on the list.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

if they ever found out the guys name from Grand Theft Auto, he should've been on there.

and Solid Snake #3?

you have to be kidding me.

and Kratos, up and comer?

sure GoW was really good, but not a "Top Ten Game Characters" kind of character.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

Cloud?

Come on.

And that they picked SM64 and OoT is just horsecrap.

SMB3, aLttP 4ever.

I'm going to stop writing like a 10 year old girl now.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

SMB3 > SM64.
OoT > aLttP.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

10. Lara Croft <--- poster child for female video game advocation.

9. Pikachu

8. Master Chief <--- generic character with a generic personality.

7. Cloud Strife <--- overrated. Further lame factors include spiky blonde hair, dark clothing, and an oversized blade.

6. Pac-Man

5. Sonic

4. Samus <--- another feminist's poster child. Has not made a great enough impact to be on list.

3. Solid Snake <--- "the man who makes the impossible possible". Too contrived.

2. Link

1. Mario

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

that whole list should be deleted and re-arranged.

I mean, actually think it out.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

I prefer OOT to ALTTP, but SMB3 just might be better than SM64...close call there though.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

Well if folks take issues with the list, why not create your own top 10 or top 5.

And pick said characters best game.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

for game characters, i'd have to say...

5.MegaMan
4.Donkey Kong
3.PacMan
2.Link
1.Mario

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

I don't think Master Chief should have been on there, generic like GM said.

I agree with Solid Snake being on there, maybe not so high though.

And for up-and-comers I think Dante should be on there...but I am in love with him so that may make me biased.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

oh hell yeah, Dante definitely should be on there, if only GTA had 1 main character, then that guy should be on there.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

Mmm....I think the list is fairly accurate. I don't like Dante being on there because the character doesn't have much depth yet. The games are flashy and exciting but also short and lacking in substance. Master Chief has only been in two games however they were system-defining games and his character has been featured in the somewhat popular novels.

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

I don't think Dante should be on the Top 10, but the up and comers suits him well in my opinion...but as I said, I love him.

And I haven't played either of the Halo games through or read the books. But should the character in the books count towards this list? Are they counting the other characters movie appearances?

Re: EGM's Top Ten Game Characters
 

Cloud... shouldn't be there. FFVII shouldn't be there.
